IADC Lexicon Featured Term for December 2023

The IADC Lexicon is an oil and gas dictionary of upstream-related terms, which, unlike conventional glossaries, are official definitions drawn from legislation, regulation and regulatory guidance, standards (global, national and regional), IADC guidelines, and Well Control Institute. Terms often have multiple definitions from different sources.

This month’s featured term is:

Nonsensitive reservoir

Nonsensitive reservoir means a reservoir in which ultimate recovery is not decreased by high reservoir production rates.
